Are there too many WWE Divas?

I think that there are currently too many Divas signed to the Raw and Smackdown rosters.

When taking into consideration the air time they get during shows which is usually around 10 minutes there are so many of the girls that seem to be doing nothing.

For example in the Maryse versus Melina match this past week on Raw they both brought along support from their brands.

Former champions like like Mickie James, Beth Phoenix and Michelle McCool who were standing around the ring must be really frustrated considering they are now simply mid card Divas which means they are going nowhere.

That's not to say that Maryse and Melina don't deserve their current roles as champions but there are a number of girls that don't need to be there for example Jillian, Layla, Eve and Rosa Mendes.

It seems that each woman gets her five minutes of fame as a champion and then get thrown on the scrap heap until a writer decides it's time for another title run. There is no sustained exposure like with the male wrestlers where even after a title loss the superstar can retain his popularity and public interest.

The WWE clearly feel that there is not a lot of overall interest in the Divas as they have announced a 25 Diva battle royal for Wrestlemania which will determine who will be crowned 'Miss Wrestlemania'.

Obviously this is a meaningless title and the fact they have 25 women involved adds to my opinion that there are too many. Instead maybe they could have spent the 10 minutes or so of air time on each show building up a really interesting fatal four way where both the Womens titles would be on the line.
